In recent years the auditory brainstem evoked response (BSER) has become an established aid in assessing hearing in unco-operative subjects. We have reviewed our experience with this technique in 293 infants and children aged less than 11 years. We have found that the threshold for click BSER correlates well with the average audiometric threshold in the 2-4 kHz range. We have had encouraging preliminary experience to support the claim by other workers that 500 Hz stimuli may be used to assess low tone auditory function. In interpreting results it is important to appreciate that hearing levels may fluctuate with disorders such as otitis media and occasionally in cases of meningitis. Caution is also advised in interpreting results in cases where central nervous system pathology capable of affecting auditory pathways is known to exist.
近年来，听觉脑干诱发电位（BSER）已成为评估不合作受试者听力的一种既定辅助手段。我们回顾了在293名11岁以下婴幼儿中使用该技术的经验。我们发现，短声BSER阈值与2 - 4千赫兹范围内的平均听力计阈值相关性良好。我们有令人鼓舞的初步经验来支持其他研究人员的说法，即500赫兹刺激可用于评估低音调听觉功能。在解释结果时，重要的是要认识到听力水平可能会因中耳炎等疾病而波动，偶尔在脑膜炎病例中也会出现这种情况。在已知存在能够影响听觉通路的中枢神经系统病变的情况下解释结果时，也建议谨慎。
